We know you really only want to hearThe things we like to sayBut if I said to you please don't do itYou do it anywaySometimes I know, we gotta be cruelBe cruel to be kindWhen I ask you, what you see in meYou say our love is blind

'Cause only you know and I knowThe things we mean to sayOnly you know and I knowThe things we mean to say

Whenever I think I know you betterBetter than I know myselfI open up and give you everythingThen you say, okay what elseAnd when I run away you always cryYou always over reactBut I don't know if you know how you really feelBut you better know before I get back

'Cause only you know and I knowThe things we mean to sayOnly you know and I knowThe things we mean to say

Just try to rememberNow I'm the one you loveYou told me, ooh try to rememberI'm the one you're always thinking ofYou told me, please try to rememberBefore I walk awayRememberIt's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

'Cause only you know and I knowThe things we mean to sayOnly you know and I knowThe things we mean to say

Only you know and I knowThe things we mean to say, yesOnly you know and I knowThe things we mean to say
